KonoSuba	comment	Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Kazuma Satou is a hikikomori who died pushing a girl out of the way of a truck, only to wind up in the presence of Aqua, a beautiful self-proclaimed goddess... who proceeds to mock him for his embarrassing demise,note It wasn't a truck, it was a slow-moving tractor that was fully prepared to stop on its own; his actual cause of death was shock-induced cardiac arrest due to thinking he'd been run over. As he died he also pissed himself, and both his family and the hospital staff laughed at how stupid his death was before giving him a choice: either go to heaven to lead a boring afterlife, start over on Earth as a baby... or reincarnate with his current body and memories in a different world in order to defeat a demon king who terrorizes it.Given his past life as an avid gamer, Kazuma picks the latter option, after which he was told to choose anything, an item or ability of any type, to bring into the new world with him. And out of sheer spite, he chooses Aqua as his "cheat" item to bring. And with that done the two are both dragged into a fantasy world of grand adventure...Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })...Oh, how Kazuma wishes it were that easy. Instead, he is stuck with three "problem children": Aqua, the narcissistic water goddess; Megumin, a delusional Child Mage; and Darkness, masochistic lady-knight.Konosuba: God's Blessing on This Wonderful World!, originally Kono Subarashii Sekai Ni Shukufuku O! (この素晴らしい世界に祝福を!, Blessing this Wonderful World!), is a 2013-2020 seventeen-volume light novel series written by Natsume Akatsuki and illustrated by Kurone Mishima, with a first anime adaptation by Studio DEEN released at the Winter 2016 block.Crunchyroll is streaming the anime under the title God's Blessing on this Wonderful World!, which can be viewed here for audiences worldwide except for Asia, Spain, Portugal, Australia, New Zealand; and German, French, Italian, and Dutch Speaking Europe. The light novels and manga have been licensed by Yen Press.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })

Aqua mentions that it subconsciously takes on a form of anything previous adventurers imagined, and mentions that several Japanese reincarnated adventurers have been there recently.

On one hand, it is notorious for its aggressive recruitment, indoctrination techniques and its followers being nuisances that certainly act like they're members of a Scam Religion. On the other hand, Aqua herself is an actual senior deity and the sacred waters of their central temple possesses incredible healing powers. Both factors make them a threat to the Demon Lord. In Volume 8, their shady practices lead it into a foul encounter with the dominant religion of the fantasy world, the Eris Sect.

KonoSuba / int_16f4798f	comment	Of light novels that reincarnate ordinary humans as heroes into a fantasy world. The way Kazuma died is specifically a parody of Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation. The deconstruction part is that, unlike most NEET protagonists that reincarnate, Kazuma isn't really able to turn his life around significantly, due to a combination of having less luck in recruiting comrades and occasionally snapping back to his pre-reincarnation habits. He just doesn't have any motivation to do anything but recreate his NEET circumstances.

KonoSuba / int_20215dc6	comment	The Masked Chivalrous Thief to the defenders of the Royal Castle in volume 6. Interestingly, it isn't as much how powerful he was but instead how he completely sidestepped the fighting logic of guards, heroes and wizards alike, making their considerable strength useless against him. For example, he used a simple ice spell to trap a high-level Sword Master's weapon into its scabbard, depriving him of his main method of attack, and immediately stepped within his guard to summon some water into the adventurer's mouth and nasal cavity and froze it solid, which effectively disabled him until a wizard could thaw the ice with magic and even then the Primal Fear of near-asphyxiation would keep him out of the fight for a while.

This never went unnoticed by them, and their increasing trust and loyalty demonstrate unspoken appreciation. And slowly but surely, their growing trust is reaping dividends, allowing them to defeat even some of the Demon King's greatest generals.

KonoSuba / int_258a45dd	comment	Mask of Power: Downplayed in Volume 6. Vanir sells mass-produced masks similar to his own that, if worn on a moonlit night, will increase the wearer's mana, enhance their metabolism, and give their skin a silky luster through the mysterious power of the devil. Kazuma is given one for free due to his joint business venture with Vanir but treats it more like a cursed item. Later, when Chris convinces him to team up with her as a "Masked Chivalrous Thief" to raid the royal castle to steal a dangerous artifact so it can be sealed he wears it as a disguise. He actually seems to have forgotten the mask had any powers at all, but only notes that he felt in excellent condition and if the mask did boost his abilities in any way he didn't notice. Based on Kazuma's time wearing it, the actually benefits are likely small boosts. Kazuma definitely had a lot of energy and was in top form, made abundantly clear when he tore through the castle's Knight Corp, Mitsurugi, and the Royal Guard while wearing it. While he terrified the opposition by downing powerful and experienced fights in a single blow and having seemingly limitless mana, Kazuma notes that he is actually just using Drain Touch to quickly deplete their stamina and replenish his mana. Aside from being unusually fired up he didn't actually do anything he couldn't do without the mask. Then again, he was also unarmed and was trying to avoid hurting anyone so it's possible the mask could boost his attack power if he fought for real. It's only mentioned in passing, but Claire thought the masked figure was quite handsome despite generally disdaining Kazuma so the mask might actually have the power to boost attractiveness.

Whenever possible, the general population avoid contact with the followers of Aqua, warning newcomers of the extreme danger they pose. Aqua calls them, "good children," but the rest of the world consider them deadly nutcases.

Even Kazuma recognizes what dead weight she would be, and tries to get rid of her before she is able to blackmail him into letting her stay. Additionally, Megumin's explosions typically leaves no remains behind when used on weak monsters, which would deny them their earnings... about the worst thing for people Only in It for the Money.

KonoSuba / int_2d9e89f7	comment	Contrasting conventions where heroes embark on adventures for reasons other than financial gain or can sustain comfortably on quest bounties, the majority of adventurers are effectively low-income temp workers. For them, quests are an irregular source of income that provide just enough money to live on, such that they will resort to part-time gigs if they can't find other work. If you want constant quests, then you have to be willing to accept any kind of quest, no matter how boring, lame, or dangerous it might be, and you might not be qualified for some quests anyways.

Even he was so creeped out he simply tells Kazuma's party to stop blowing up his castle before leaving. When he returns some time later, he chastises them for not showing up at his castle to try and defeat him and get the curse lifted, not knowing Darkness was uncursed mere moments after he left. The Demon King allows Wiz to interfere if his generals cause civilian casualties, implying that he shares her views on sparing non-combatants (or simply doesn't want to antagonize her). The Winter Shogun spares Aqua, Megumin, and Darkness after they all prostrate in front of him for killing his snow minions. Kazuma unfortunately isn't so lucky and gets decapitated, although he's forcefully resurrected and ordered by Aqua to come back instead of being resurrected back on Earth.

The Hikikomori members of the Crimson Magic Clan are powerful arch wizards capable of fending off the Demon King's army. The creator of the Destroyer is a reincarnated Japanese man who was given the power of creation who at first attempted to make a weapon that could destroy the Demon King but gave up after months of anguish and used his powers to create whatever he wanted. Despite his laziness, his creations have huge influence on the world besides The Dreaded Destroyer, he also modified some humans that would become the Crimson Demons as described above, an Anti-Magic weapon called the Mage Destroyer that is immune and negates all magic and a magical rifle that needs the power of Megumin's Explosion and plenty of Aqua's magic to be fully charged and can one-shot the Mage Destroyer.

KonoSuba / int_3b79029a	comment	Crapsaccharine World: While the series definitely does not portray the world as sunshine and rainbows, if you weren't paying attention to the details you'd think it was relatively peaceful. However the casual way characters describe the darker parts of the world can be quite disturbing. The only reason why Axel is somewhat peaceful is because of the presence of both the lich Wiz and the dullahan Verdia, one of the Demon Lord's generals. Monsters avoid the former, while the Demon Lord's lesser subordinates do so out of respect for him. Everywhere else lay at the mercy of demon raids and monster sieges. The people tend to have some sort of Gallows Humor regarding their existence in a world beset by the Demon Lord. Their annual thanksgiving celebrations for Eris is actually a time of prayer for a chance to survive at least a year (instead of wealth or good health), while Aqua casually states that people don't bother giving birthday presents to each other because they don't expect to live too long. Then there's the premise where the reason they are bringing in people from Japan is because the people of this world outright refuse to reincarnate back into it. It's also worth noting that the gods are so anxious about defeating the Demon Lord, so they provide Japanese heroes with their choice of various cheat items like the Infinity +1 Sword or Armor of Invincibility to speed up the process. So far, only a few actually managed to defeat various Demon Lords, with each successful hero being married into the royal family. This, however, brings on another issue since it is heavily implied that the current Demon Lord is actually a Japanese person himself. Though it's played off as a comedic moment, agricultural crops gain the ability to move and become violent upon harvest season. To give an idea of how dangerous these crops are, in a community of powerful mages, Crimson Magic Clan farmers are some of the most powerful in the community because of the nigh-daily combat they face subjugating their crops. Axel does not suffer from starvation or food shortages because it lies on a major migration route, has an early warning system, and benefits from the large standing army of adventurers to "harvest" these crops. Communities lacking these fortuitous advantages are not so lucky. Due to constant monster attacks, basic education for children is an alien concept, as they either become adventurers and join the meat-grinder, or they learn a trade to assist adventurers. The only known exceptions are the tourist city of Alcanretia, the home base of the Aqua-worshipping Axis Cult, who are so annoying that not even the Demon Lord would want to go anywhere nearby, and the Crimson Magic Clan's Magic Academy, whose students are collectively powerful enough to repel the Demon Lord's armies. Curative spells are a rare commodity among adventurers, removing a key pillar of the Damager, Healer, Tank tactics that are vital to survival. Part of this is because Healing Magic Is the Hardest, but another contributing factor is the world's greatest source of healers, the Axis Cult, is considered an incredibly dangerous religion. Wiz is recognized as one of the most powerful spell casters in the world, having once been the member of an epic tier adventurer party. Said group nearly suffered a Total Party Kill via a curse, the aftermath of which resulted in Wiz becoming a lich and serving the Demon Lord she was supposed to defeat. The Demon Lord has only gotten stronger since then.

KonoSuba / int_3ed23024	type	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome
KonoSuba / int_3ed23024	comment	Surprisingly Realistic Outcome: As much as can be expected for an RPG Mechanics 'Verse. The easy monsters near Axel have been hunted to extinction (unless herded in by a "Rookie Killer"-type). Monsters don't explode into money or items when they die; the guild offers a delivery service to bring them back to town and then you get paid accordingly after the service takes a fee. The nearby beginner dungeon has been thoroughly ransacked. New adventurers don't get "starter" equipment or anything for free, even having to pay a registration fee, and the adventurer's guild is full of Fair Weather Friends. Oh, and there's no Hero Insurance, either.note There actually is, but it only applies during emergency-level quests, and thanks to circumstances like good old medieval corruption, it's never actually doled out even then. After learning the Steal skill, Kazuma uses it on Chris as part of a "Stealing Duel" of sorts. He wins by stealing her underwear. The next time Kazuma runs into the group, he tells them about his success of learning the skill and demonstrates it, causing him to accidentally steal Megumin's underwear. This, along with Chris telling the group how he beat her in public, causes a small reputation to form around him that he is actually a pervert who steals woman's underwear for his own gain and beats up women for fun, and it ends up being used against him in court because, even if Played for Laughs, it still is seen as immoral by those around him. When facing off against Kyouya, Kazuma is annoyed by how this guy easily got everything due to his cheat item (compared to him working from square one), and ultimately steals said cheat item during their duel. However, he can't use it at all... so he sells it, leaving Kyouya absent for a long time as he tries to retrieve it. Yet by doing so, Kazuma accidentally deprived the town of a powerful adventurer for awhile, one who could've easily taken care of the troubles that Kazuma and his party then had to take care of. Kazuma isn't the first and only person from Earth being sent to this world. Many people have been sent to defeat the Demon King, and many have failed, leaving behind their Schizo Tech and the "cheat" items they were given by the Gods. Several arcs have the party dealing with the mess that others like Kazuma have left behind. And, due to Aqua irresponsibly sending anyone who wants to reincarnate over without regards to character, there are plenty of less scrupulous characters using their "cheat" items to just gain wealth, power, or other things. And some others, like the creator of the Mobile Fortress Destroyer are just irresponsible chuckleheads. In season 2 Kazuma gains an arrow-shooting skill, which should have OP accuracy thanks to his luck factor - which would be fine for normal-sized animals, but an arrow over a foot long can't really penetrate the vital organs of giant toads ten feet wide. After defeating the Kowloon Hydra, all of the adventurers in Axel come across a decent-sized fortune. Like Kazuma, once they're wealthy they basically just laze around and stop adventuring - just about all of them are Only in It for the Money, and see no reason to risk their lives if they have money to sit on. This leads to a backlog of quests at the Adventurer's Guild, and monsters begin to move into nearby areas where they had previously been extirpated. Which is good for questing and grinding. This enormous windfall also leads to unforeseen trouble with their world's version of the IRS. Since up until then, the adventurers were exempt from taxes due to their low income. Once word gets out about all the money they have, armed collections agents are sent to scour the city. Before Kazuma and Aqua come along Megumin could not find a party, since nobody is willing to put up with her Awesome, but Impractical fighting style when there are more reliable mages available. Even Kazuma recognizes what dead weight she would be, and tries to get rid of her before she is able to blackmail him into letting her stay. Additionally, Megumin's explosions typically leaves no remains behind when used on weak monsters, which would deny them their earnings... about the worst thing for people Only in It for the Money. After an extended unplanned stay at the capitol, Kazuma returns home to find that Aqua has boarded up all of the mansions' entrances as payback for leaving them. When his attempts to gain access to the mansion fail, he calls the cops to eject Aqua, as he's the one who owns the house. Kazuma notes that while it's possible for someone to improve their attributes, some people are simply more talented than others, and that no amount of training can fully improve a stat you are naturally weak in. Because so many adventurers start in Axel, most of the low level monsters surrounding the city have been hunted to near extinction, and the nearby dungeon completely ransacked. Early in season 2, when it's discovered that there is an undiscovered secret passage in said dungeon, Kazuma has to essentially bribe Luna (head receptionist at the guild) to get to explore it first because with how cleared-out the dungeon is, it would be raided quickly by more capable groups who would then take the reward themselves. The heroes beat Verdia and saved the town, but in doing so caused so much collateral damage that the reward is basically taken away right as they get it. Sure they saved the place, but essentially flooding a town is going to cause massive amounts of structural damage, and someone has to pay for it. In a rare positive example, Yunyun brings Kazuma a letter about how the Crimson Demon's village has fallen. When they travel there, it turns out the village is fine and the Devil King's army attacking is being slaughtered in a giant light show of magic. Turns out an entire village full of very powerful wizards won't fall that easily.

KonoSuba / int_3fe2b13f	comment	Ungrateful Bastard: In the anime's depiction of Alcanretia's hot springs arc, despite Kazuma's party and Wiz defeating Hans and preventing him from poisoning Alcanretia's hot springs, the Axis Cult shows no gratitude and runs them out of town. This is because Aqua purified the hot springs into normal hot water, rendering them useless to the town as a source of income. The light novel's volume 4 is a little different. Kazuma's party uses the reward money for defeating Hans to pay damages to the Axis Cult and leaves quickly, before any such riot could start. When Father Zesta and Cecily learn the full story, they are indeed grateful to their goddess for saving them, and are overwhelmed with joy to learn that the "normal hot water" is actually extremely potent holy water.

KonoSuba / int_40cc0c7e	comment	Bittersweet Ending: The anime's second season ends with the heroes defeating yet another one of the Demon King's generals, even when his plan to cripple Alcanretia's economy succeeds after Aqua uses a form of God Requiem so powerful the medicinal hot springs water turned into ordinary hot water. The light novels reveal this was actually a Belated Happy Ending. The anime does not include part of the epilogue in volume 4. It wasn't entirely a disaster — if anything, it was a blessing in disguise, as the resulting water was extremely potent holy water. Those who bath in it are cured of injury, and it is a potent weapon against the undead. This would in the long term prove to be even more marketable and thus profitable than were Alcanretia to remain a hot springs town.

KonoSuba / int_422f566c	comment	Love Freak: The Axis Cult is surprisingly progressive about romance and sexuality even when compared to modern Real Life religions, and one of its tenets is that true love can be enjoyed between anyone and anything, so long as you hate and agree to the extermination of demons and the undead (Though even Aqua herself is lightening up on that front). Unfortunately, this attitude also attracts many kooks like Cecily, who use their religion to justify acting on their absurd fetishes.

However, except for her healing and buff spells, Kazuma often declares many of those skills to be completely useless. Her Nature's Beauty skill is entertaining but has no practical value, she has a spell that lets those affected make vocal impressions, and she's preternaturally and genuinely good at art and construction… which are all completely useless to adventuring. Crosses over with Chekhov's Skill when these turn out to be surprisingly useful (or at least Kazuma finds a use for them), like the vocal impression spell allowing you to mimic voices perfectly, or her talent for construction allowing her to repair a fortress faster than the enemy can destroy it (and add a beautiful mural in the process). Megumin's Explosion spell tends to enter this since she can only cast it once a day, and sometimes she gets so excited she lets it off before it would be effective, or even safe.

They feed on the negative emotions that humans emit, and if they feed on enough, can create an "extra life" that can be used if their bodies are exorcised or destroyed. None of these necessarily make them malevolent beings, and many of them, like Vanir and the succubi are perfectly fine coexisting with humans so long as they don't try to hunt them down or prevent them from fulfilling their contracts.

As for Aqua... he admits that she's such a pain in the ass that, despite his best efforts, he simply can't view her in a sexual manner. Since his actual wish for some "peace and quiet" was granted, this means he doesn't actually die... at least until the girls send him off to another audience with Eris.

KonoSuba / int_567e7c4d	comment	Wounded Gazelle Gambit: When Kazuma discovers that Megumin has too lopsided a stat build and a single and extremely situational skill to be useful, he immediately tries to dismiss her from the party. At first she tries a "Please, Don't Leave Me" approach, but as her bargaining gets more pathetic, some women overhear them and assume Kazuma was her boyfriend breaking up with her after having fun subjecting her and Aqua to some deviant sex play involving the slimy substance they were drenched in at the time. Megumin immediately plays on this, and blackmails him into allowing her to be a fixture by making him look like a paedophile. Chris plays this up as well after Kazuma accidentally steals her panties while trying out the Steal ability she taught him (though he initially wanted his purse, he was quite ecstatic with his loot). She later makes a huge scene of it in the guild hall where a lot of people can hear what he allegedly did to her panties and blackmailed her into giving up all her money to get them back. Shortly afterwards, she looks at him, and sticks her tongue out at him, suggesting that she was simply teasing him. After blowing what little earnings she had from the cabbage hunt quest and finding herself unable to pay her bar tab, Aqua pleads with Kazuma to give her some of his relatively larger bounty. He initially refuses to, until she starts saying something about sharing a bed with her and doing various things in it to her out loud in front of a lot of people in the guild hall. He then promptly gives her the money she needs. One of the first things to happen in Volume 5 is Kazuma and his party running into a monster infamous for this. The adventurers' guidebook even explains, in detail, how the gambit works. Still, this monster is a Master Actor, and despite knowing it's all a trick, the party can't bring themselves to kill it, until Kazuma, worried about Yunyun falling for it goes back to check, and sees with his own eyes and hears with his own ears how he was being played.

KonoSuba / int_603f1a80	comment	Pragmatic Adaptation: Because of the small amount of episodes allotted to it (ten regular episodes plus one BR-exclusive OAV), the anime had to skip or rearrange some of the gang's misadventures. Wiz's introduction, which in the books took up an entire chapter, was reduced to a twenty-second flashback in episode 8. What's more, it's placed much later in the broadcast, where chronologically it would have occurred sometime after Kazuma learned Steal from Chris. The scene was, however, adapted into an audio drama. The aforementioned chapter where Kazuma and Dust trade places for a day, because the latter mistook the former's companions as a Battle Harem, was skipped entirely, and episode 9 instead focuses on something that happens after that, the Succubus Shop.

KonoSuba / int_6860368a	comment	Mook Horror Show: The Masked Chivalrous Thief to the defenders of the Royal Castle in volume 6. Interestingly, it isn't as much how powerful he was but instead how he completely sidestepped the fighting logic of guards, heroes and wizards alike, making their considerable strength useless against him. For example, he used a simple ice spell to trap a high-level Sword Master's weapon into its scabbard, depriving him of his main method of attack, and immediately stepped within his guard to summon some water into the adventurer's mouth and nasal cavity and froze it solid, which effectively disabled him until a wizard could thaw the ice with magic and even then the Primal Fear of near-asphyxiation would keep him out of the fight for a while. In Volume 9, once the walls were completely rebuilt and Wolbach declared that the battle was at a standstill, Kazuma, Megumin, and Yunyun decide to try the exact same tactic of combining Explosion and Teleport. The only difference being that the Demon King's mooks don't have a fortress to hide in. We're treated to a large amount of the Demon King's army fleeing in terror and begging for mercy whenever they show up.

However, he can't use it at all... so he sells it, leaving Kyouya absent for a long time as he tries to retrieve it. Yet by doing so, Kazuma accidentally deprived the town of a powerful adventurer for awhile, one who could've easily taken care of the troubles that Kazuma and his party then had to take care of.

KonoSuba / int_6dcbe9aa	type	Deconstructive Parody
KonoSuba / int_6dcbe9aa	comment	Deconstructive Parody: Konosuba takes pretty much every trope and character archetype associated with "Isekai" stories and either deconstruct, subverts, or inverts them, sometimes just to play them straight again later but always in a hilarious manner. Of light novels that reincarnate ordinary humans as heroes into a fantasy world. The way Kazuma died is specifically a parody of Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation. The deconstruction part is that, unlike most NEET protagonists that reincarnate, Kazuma isn't really able to turn his life around significantly, due to a combination of having less luck in recruiting comrades and occasionally snapping back to his pre-reincarnation habits. He just doesn't have any motivation to do anything but recreate his NEET circumstances. It also adresses the question of why the deities would reincarnate a random person to save an entire world, even if they died in a noble way: as it turns out, they make the offer of reincarnation to everybody in the hopes that if they throw enough wannabe heroes with a cheat item into the world, one of them will defeat the Devil King eventually - while some are exactly as successful as the genre normally paints them (there's an entire royal line descended from one of them), many either fail to accomplish anything or die again in short order - if Kazuma hadn't had Aqua to resurrect him every time he died, he wouldn't have lasted the first month. Contrasting conventions where heroes embark on adventures for reasons other than financial gain or can sustain comfortably on quest bounties, the majority of adventurers are effectively low-income temp workers. For them, quests are an irregular source of income that provide just enough money to live on, such that they will resort to part-time gigs if they can't find other work. If you want constant quests, then you have to be willing to accept any kind of quest, no matter how boring, lame, or dangerous it might be, and you might not be qualified for some quests anyways. It's also a reversal on the trend of such protagonists becoming charismatic powerhouses in their new world. Kazuma is stuck with a rock-bottom-tier class, and his companions, while top-tier, tend to have ridiculously unbalanced specializations to the point that they make themselves look more like liabilities than assets. Kazuma's perversion quickly gets him labels such as "the brute" or "Trash-zuma". It also has an alternate take on the Harem Genre, where male observers of the quartet enviously mistake Kazuma as the luckiest man alive to have such beautiful companions, unaware of the sheer psychological pressure of handling his three "problem children" and their borderline personality disorders. Veterans of Tabletop RPG and Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game often remark on the hilarious antics of Kazuma's party, which remind them of personal experiences when "serious" gamers are paired up with "casual" gamers, and the chaos that ensues when they clash. Another common comparison is the case of a veteran gamer opening a new account (Kazuma) having to party with several newbies who purchased high-level characters from gold farmers. Kyouya Mitsurugi, another Japanese transplant, is a walking Take That! to the Chosen One trope commonly associated with the fantasy genre, being everything Kazuma is not — a Bishōnen who has the Cursed Sword "Gram", an Infinity +1 Sword, as his reincarnation perk, is specifically tasked by Aqua to fight the Demon Lord, is accompanied by two cute girls who bicker over him, and lives on a creed of Honor Before Reason. Naturally, not only does Kazuma resent the unfair advantage, but also discovers that without Gram he's a mere pushover. Additionally, Kazuma would have a cheat item like Kyouya, if he didn't try to be clever (and spiteful) by choosing the goddess of the afterlife as his cheat item. Turns out that having a literal goddess at your beck and call doesn't do much for you if you antagonize said goddess and refuse to play to her strengths. Which leaves Kazuma with effectively nothing but outrageous luck (which can be good or bad). The Point Build System is deconstructed in Megumin's spinoff, where her clan's optimal build is to only spend skill points on Advanced Magic, but not Beginner or Intermediate Magic. This means the students cannot use any real attack magic until they have enough skill points to learn advanced magic, even if they perfectly understand how to cast said magic. This leads to a rather amusing scene where the teachers help them power level by freezing an enemy in place while letting them bash it to death. However, the above is also played seriously when Megumin, Yunyun, and Komekko are at the mercy of several monsters, forcing Yunyun to spend her skill points on Intermediate Magic in order to survive and then slowly grind enough levels in the background across several books until finally earning enough skill points to unlock Teleportation by the ninth novel. In-universe, there's a picture book that further deconstructs the idea of giving cheat abilities to reincarnated heroes, especially if those "heroes" don't have any of Kazuma (such as they are) and Kyouya's virtues. The protagonist of the story lets the cheat powers go to his head and becomes a comically insufferable "solo player" who only fights the Demon King for fame and fortune. In the end, his less than heroic motivations lead him to become the next Demon King. It's unknown if this was based on actual events in the novel's setting. Even Megumin and Darkness could be considered parodies of their respective classes by taking their roles to their logical conclusion. Archwizards are supposed to cast destructive spells, which Megumin takes to extremes by being a one-shot Glass Cannon. Crusaders are supposed to defend their allies, which Darkness also takes to extremes by being a Stone Wall incapable of landing a single hit. Surprisingly, Kazuma eventually does fulfill the tradition of isekai series heroes finding more success in the other world than in their original life. This also gets deconstructed. While he did manage to become rich, he never really grows out of his NEET mentality like other protagonists usually do, causing him to coast on his riches now that he no longer has to risk his life to make ends meet.

The Doppelgänger's biggest mistake was using the same disguise to seduce the twelve-year-old princess — probably the one girl Kazuma never treated or thought of in a perverted manner — who despite her obvious crush on her "onii-sama" stopped "his" advances short and all was left of it was a puddle of black liquid on the floor.

Though he seemed to only want to leave them with a warning, she continues to taunt him, causing him to cast a curse on her which would kill her in seven days. However, Darkness intercepts the spell, and Aqua easily dispels it after he leaves.

KonoSuba / int_7fbb2a3	comment	Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: In Episode 4, due to Verdia moving near Axel, low-level monsters have gone into hiding, thus drying up quests for newcomers such as Kazuma and Aqua. Megumin passes time by practicing Explosion on an abandoned castle near the town — which so happened to be Verdia's hideout. He ends up showing up at Axel's gates to voice his complaints about his constant misfortune. When he shows up again, Kazuma finds out that she was still doing it after the warning, this time with Aqua carrying her back home. In episode ten, they manage to stop the Destroyer from blowing up the town by having Wiz teleport the core somewhere else. Unfortunately it lands by a rich noble's mansion, and Kazuma is then accused of treason as a result of said explosion. How Kazuma handles the issue with the hydra. Darkness was so persistent about defeating it so she could use the 1 billion Eris reward to pay off her family's debt to Alderp. However, since Kazuma invited the rest of the adventurer's guild to defeat it, they had to split up the reward about fifty ways, meaning that she couldn't use their much more meager reward to clear her debt.

The former goes out of her way to lay spirits to rest because the Eris church demands payment for such a service and only became a lich in the first place to save her former party members from being cursed to death by Verdia. The latter only became a lich to be with his beloved until her final moments and then asked Aqua to send him to the other world since he can't commit suicide.

Like Kazuma, once they're wealthy they basically just laze around and stop adventuring - just about all of them are Only in It for the Money, and see no reason to risk their lives if they have money to sit on. This leads to a backlog of quests at the Adventurer's Guild, and monsters begin to move into nearby areas where they had previously been extirpated. Which is good for questing and grinding.

It makes a grand appearance in Episode 10, showing up at Axel without warning because no one else took the quest. In vol 3, Megumin wins a manatite crystal from Yunyun. Megumin tells Kazuma that manatite can be used to supplement mana for spells but the quality of this one is too weak for her to use Explosion so it's useless to her, and tells him to sell it to pay off his debt a little. In the web novel, before the final assault on the Demon Lord's Castle, Kazuma uses all his money buying a small mountain of manatite crystals of the highest quality for Megumin, allowing her to spam Explosion on the Demon Lord's Castle, wiping out vast hordes of his army and even breaking the barrier. Kazuma mentions early on that Megumin's useless in dungeons because Explosion will cause the entire dungeon to collapse, killing everyone. At the end of the web novel, Kazuma does just this to kill the Demon Lord, though he also dies in the process. Aqua seems excited when Megumin mentions Alcanretia, the city of water. Which as they enter uses a lot of blue in their construction. It's because it's 'her' cults home city. The very beginning has Aqua trying to summon Kazuma to the fantasy world as a hero, despite the fact that he's not hero material, simply because she has a quota to fulfill. It's implied that she does this to every recently deceased Japanese youth regardless of the kind of person they are. The current Demon Lord is implied to be a Japanese person, meaning the present situation is her fault, to begin with. Very early on, there's a quest at the Adventurer's Guild to subjugate a manticore and a gryphon that are battling for territory. They finally take this quest in Volume 11.

Of course, Kazuma being the richest adventurer in Axel prompted the noble in charge of the city (Darkness) to make special efforts to make sure he won't escape.

It's also worth noting that the gods are so anxious about defeating the Demon Lord, so they provide Japanese heroes with their choice of various cheat items like the Infinity +1 Sword or Armor of Invincibility to speed up the process. So far, only a few actually managed to defeat various Demon Lords, with each successful hero being married into the royal family. This, however, brings on another issue since it is heavily implied that the current Demon Lord is actually a Japanese person himself.

KonoSuba / int_a7b8ba72	comment	The Point Build System is deconstructed in Megumin's spinoff, where her clan's optimal build is to only spend skill points on Advanced Magic, but not Beginner or Intermediate Magic. This means the students cannot use any real attack magic until they have enough skill points to learn advanced magic, even if they perfectly understand how to cast said magic. This leads to a rather amusing scene where the teachers help them power level by freezing an enemy in place while letting them bash it to death. However, the above is also played seriously when Megumin, Yunyun, and Komekko are at the mercy of several monsters, forcing Yunyun to spend her skill points on Intermediate Magic in order to survive and then slowly grind enough levels in the background across several books until finally earning enough skill points to unlock Teleportation by the ninth novel.

Their personality and combat quirks make them individually incompetent, and the leader is constantly berating the girls for their antics because of it, but when they listen to him and work together, there's signs of them being the world's best chance at overthrowing the Demon King. Writ large with the Crimson Demon clan, an entire race of Chuunibyou wizards that run entirely on badass bombastic speeches that looks absolutely ridiculous to everyone else in the world (and even one or two of their own number). But they are completely capable of backing those speeches up, as shown when a unit of the Demon Lord's forces, over a thousand strong and led by a highly magic-resistant general, try to take on fifty Crimson Demons.

Darkness is capable of doing this to Vanir's dolls, whereas they do a crippling amount of damage to any other adventurers when they explode, she simply punches one in the face and walks away without a scratch. Aqua is also able to do this with Vanir's clairvoyance. Her holy aura makes it impossible for him to read her thoughts, and it also obscures his vision for anyone nearby her.

Her Nature's Beauty skill is entertaining but has no practical value, she has a spell that lets those affected make vocal impressions, and she's preternaturally and genuinely good at art and construction… which are all completely useless to adventuring. Crosses over with Chekhov's Skill when these turn out to be surprisingly useful (or at least Kazuma finds a use for them), like the vocal impression spell allowing you to mimic voices perfectly, or her talent for construction allowing her to repair a fortress faster than the enemy can destroy it (and add a beautiful mural in the process).

The Adventurer class's Power Copying abilities let the user learn any skill that is displayed and named in front of them. Key word being any.

In the final volume, Kazuma uses this exploit to learn Explosion and kill Maou the Demon King. When collections agents come to get back taxes from all the adventurers in Axel, Kazuma gets himself thrown in jail to avoid them. Knowing the city guard will not allow the collectors near him while he is being processed, and that their Interservice Rivalry will prevent any form of compromise, allowing him to get way with tax evasion.

Naturally, not only does Kazuma resent the unfair advantage, but also discovers that without Gram he's a mere pushover. Additionally, Kazuma would have a cheat item like Kyouya, if he didn't try to be clever (and spiteful) by choosing the goddess of the afterlife as his cheat item. Turns out that having a literal goddess at your beck and call doesn't do much for you if you antagonize said goddess and refuse to play to her strengths.

Unfortunately for him, all of his party's goofing around in Akiba wasted most of their time and they get warped back before Kazuma gets to complete his objective.

An encounter with an entire horde of them leaves both Kazuma and Darkness completely catatonic, Kazuma from nearly getting the same fate as the male orcs, and Darkness at the realization that one of her biggest fantasies is a thing of a long gone past.

KonoSuba / int_c4db6423	comment	Yank the Dog's Chain: This is arguably the driving force for the entire series. Every time things start going well for Kazuma, some Call to Adventure, imminent threat, or unfortunate circumstances force him to abandon his comfortable position. Volumes 4-7 are all Immediate Sequels, and each of them begins with Kazuma yelling at whoever's showing up to drag him into their problems for trying to disrupt the peace. While fleeing from the possessed dolls of the haunted mansion, Kazuma was calling out for Aqua-sama to save him, noted that Aqua would be successfully eradicating ghosts in the huge estate, and warned the spirits to leave him alone or else they'd be destroyed by his powerful goddess. As much as it would please Aqua to hear Kazuma say these things, she was never within listening range. The Spin Offs reveal that Iris has snuck out of the Capital to visit Axel on numerous occasions, and at one point even convinced her bodyguards to let her stay at Kazuma's mansion. They never actually get to meet again, however, until Volume 10, with Kazuma blissfully unaware that his beloved "little sister" had been in town and pining to see him again since he departed from the Capital.

KonoSuba / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: Kazuma's death is lifted straight from YuYu Hakusho's famous beginning, where Yusuke pushes a child out of the way of a truck when the child would have survived anyway, and he even gets a chance to sort out his afterlife as compensation. Of course, this work's parodic nature makes it so that Kazuma merely thinks he died heroically like Yusuke, when in reality his death was a lot less heroic and a lot more undignified. Kazuma makes a wish/decision that a Goddess would accompany him would be similar to the beginning of Ah! My Goddess, in which Keiichi asked the Goddess Belldandy to be his partner. Of course, just like the above, because of the show's parodic nature, Kazuma's Goddess, Aqua, turns out to be generally useless, self-centered and whiny as opposed to Belldandy being all helpful and nice. Every light novel title alludes to other media. Volume 1: Oh! My Useless Goddess Volume 2: Love, Witches and Other Delusions Volume 3: You're Being Summoned, Darkness! Volume 4: You Good-for-Nothing Quartet Volume 5: Crimson Magic Clan, Let's and Go! Volume 6: Princess of the Six Flowers Volume 7: 110-Million Bride (Million Arthur) Volume 8: Axis Church vs. Eris Church Volume 9: Destiny of Crimson (Specifically the Collectible Card Game) Volume 10: Gamble Scramble In the anime, the wording in Megumin's explosion spell is a blatant reference to Lina's "Dragon Slave" from Slayers, which is fitting, since it's an anime based on the Dungeons & Dragons RPG. Megumin's delusional nature is accented with wearing an eyepatch, just like how Rikka Takanashi, a fellow chuunibyou, uses an eye gauze for an eyepatch in her chuunibyou mode. She also has quotes similar to Ranko Kanzaki. Until the anime, all three girls were voiced by Maaya Uchida. Kazuma voices a throwaway line in Episode 2 that references Gate while waking up to Aqua oversleeping again. Megumin tells Kazuma about a quest to defeat One Hit Bear in Episode 7, which he intelligently refuses on the grounds of being suicide. One Hit Bear was also the nickname Japanese gamers gave to Heroic Bear and Darth Lycanthrope (translated as Fierce Bear and Darthbear in the American release) from Dragon Quest III. They were one of the few random Mooks able to regularly inflict a Critical Hit, sometimes two or three in a row, thus killing Squishy Wizard party members in one hit. In the English translation of the light novels, the One Hit Bear has been renamed to One Punch Bear. Episode 6 has the Dullahan Verdia throwing his head to the air then lo and behold, a great lidless flaming eye came to be. This allows Verdia to see all of his enemies at once thus dodging their attacks and killing them all with one slash as a result. In Episode 7, an angry Aqua performs the signature side-to-side swaying motion of the Dempsey Roll, before getting blocked by Darkness. In Episode 8, there are dolls that look like Shinku, Suiseiseki, and Souseiseki. In Episode 9, there is a succubus wearing leotards in the same color scheme as Morrigan Aensland. In Megumin's first spin off novel, the Onion Duck looks a lot like Farfetch'd. In Episode 6 of the second season, the Lizard Runner Princess unleashes a Kamen Rider Kick on Kazuma. In volume 7 of the light novels, one of the guards of the Dustiness home is named Chuck Norris. In the movie, after Kazuma traps Sylvia using the Konami Code, the following advertisement break is accompanied with an interface of Konami's DanceDanceRevolution inserting said code as dance inputs.

KonoSuba / int_d19dc823	comment	The Gods Must Be Lazy: Subverted from all sorts of angles. Eris isn't a war goddess, so her contributions are often indirect or through the adventurers sent to save it. However, as Chris she's performed many heroic feats, and Kazuma eventually becomes her champion. Evidence points that Aqua was a lazy and irresponsible goddess who did as little Earth-related work as possible, and those habits are seen during her interactions with Kazuma and the new world. On the other hand, she has to be an active member of his party if she wants to return home, and she needs all the money to fuel her partying habits. However this trope is also subverted later on. As it's revealed later in the story that despite her horrible character, Aqua was very good at reincarnating people and managing the afterlife. So much so that in Volume 15, the gods express regret and wish for her to return as soon as possible. Even Kazuma was horrified to learn that he was the last person to reincarnate as no one else has able to replace Aqua.

Though in the later volumes they really soften up to one another, physical altercations between the two of them are still not uncommon. Ultimately, Kazuma's entire party is like this, with arguments and grappling matches frequently occurring between them. While most of their animosity is normally directed toward Kazuma (sometimes in the form of Belligerent Sexual Tension when it's with Darkness and Megumin), he's also perfectly capable of throwing the Apple of Discord between the others.

While the full rules are never explicitly mentioned, it incorporates features that emulate combat in the fantasy world, such as teleporting mages and Teleport Spam, healing, traps, thieves and steal, and the Explosion spell (flipping over the board and sending all the pieces flying, effectively wiping out the battlefield), which can only be used once a day. It is also apparently perfectly legal to win by paying someone to distract your opponent off the field with something so interesting that they resign just to see what all the fuss is about.

Of course, this being Kazuma, he then verifies if it really is okay, and gets incredibly excited at the thought. This comes right after internally questioning the sanity of certain male customers who reportedly fantasize about being abused by older, stronger female adventurers. After his party did nothing to prevent Kazuma from being Arrested for Heroism at the end of Volume 2, Aqua sneaked into the police station to break him out while Megumin and Darkness created some distraction to keep the police busy. She then explained that they didn't defend him before to avoid getting arrested as his accomplices in order to keep their options open to do something about it afterwards, definitely not because they were afraid of what Kazuma would do to them if he managed to get out on his own.

This is the reason he sent Hans to covertly poison their hot springs to cut off their income. Both Vanir and Beldia find Darkness creepy due to her masochism and disturbing fantasies. With the former, Darkness enjoys having her body controlled against her will, as well as the idea of her allies attacking her. With the latter, she gets giddy at the idea of being tortured in Beldia's castle. Zereschrute essentially becomes the first character (we know of) to indulge Darkness's fantasies.

It's also reliant on luck, and other people can make it harder by holding a bunch of worthless objects, including small rocks, as Chris demonstrates when she teaches Kazuma how to use it. Kazuma's ridiculously high luck stat allows him to abuse this skill for both practical purposes...

KonoSuba / int_ffb1df90	comment	Perpetual Poverty: Kazuma's group is stuck with this, and early on has to resort to manual labor simply to survive, and even their early quests don't amount to much due to the amount of trouble they have just trying to complete it, such as killing five giant toads and getting paid about what they were making just laying bricks. Later, thanks to his high Luck stat, Kazuma does make quite a bit of money, but mostly keeps it all to himself because he (correctly) believes his party members (particularly Aqua) are incapable of spending it responsibly. Megumin's family lives like this. Anything Megumin makes that doesn't go to immediate needs or upgrading/replacing her equipment, she sends back home. Unfortunately, Megumin's Hikikomori father promptly spends any money they make on worthless magical items, meaning they're constantly struggling to be fed. Wiz and Vanir are constantly struggling to make a profit, and any profit they do make Wiz shortsightedly spends on some horrible business venture. It's so depressing that, when a racketeer comes to extort their profits, he feels so bad that he ends up leaving them food and money. However, Wiz, being undead, can survive on limited nutrition, and Vanir, being a devil, doesn't need to eat at all, so poverty doesn't affect them much more than in their long-term goals.
